Returning the agents to a previous product version level

Complete this procedure to return the agents to a previous product version level.

About this task

To perform this operation, you need to download the installation image of the version you want to return to.

Note: If you used the new functions introduced with the latest release, you cannot roll back your environment to the previous version because new records have been created in the database and they are not compatible with previous versions.

Return the agents to a previous product version by running the twsinst script, as follows:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the workstation where you plan to install the agent.
  2. Download the installation images from Flexnet.
  3. Browse to the folder image_location.
  4. Start the installation launching the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript twsinst -restore -acceptlicense yes -uname instance_owner
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./twsinst -restore -acceptlicense yes -uname instance_owner
    where
    instance_owner
    is the owner of the instance as specified in the TWSRegistry.dat file.
